Miles Stokes: You Either Have Parents or You’re My Friend - Uncanny X-Men 155

Welcome true believers to X-Men Horoscopes where each week our host Lodro Rinzler is in conversation with a special guest to discuss the X-Men issue that aligns with a significant month and year from their life and what that issue reveals about their future. Space Empress Lilandra has been abducted by space terrorists! Miles Stokes of Jay and Miles X-Plain the X-Men joins our host Lodro Rinzler to kick off Season 2 of the podcast where the Brood show up and brought comical guns for everyone. Also in this episode we answer such questions as: If you have a secret dad does your friend have to tell you? Is there a better band name than Deathbird? How old is Cyclops? Who are the better houseguests: the Marauders or the Reavers? Other topics include: the X-Men vacation at Magnetos beach house a.k.a Octopusheim the Shiar SUCK Kitty Pryde helps Prof X with his AOL Tigra isn't the Avenger you want...she's the Avenger available ...and Miles defends Hot Bird! We mean Angel, sorry. Angel. What does any of this have to do with Miles' future? Tune in to find out! Twenty years ago, Miles carefully placed his psychology degree in a drawer and went to work IT because it was way easier. These days, he lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife Anna and fixes broken things for a non-mutant-related comic-book publisher while surrounding himself with as much geekery as time allows. For the last decade, he's x-plained the retcons, clones, and time travel of the X-Men franchise alongside Jay Edidin on their truly fantastic podcast Jay & Miles X-Plain the X-Men. Buy him a drink and he’ll spend the next two hours telling you about how Chris Claremont made him a feminist and that come on, guys, Gambit’s ’90s costume isn’t that bad.
